You can vote for leaders that you can only hope will merely slow the loss of liberty, and hope they keep their promises. But if you can't just sit and wait for the empire to suffer a slow, painful death, you might just have to swallow a bitter pill. You generally have to hit rock bottom before you find the motivation to turn things around.
Slam dunk winner of the Darwin Award post of the year,
Don't panic at the thought of Hillary or Daschle being elected president. It may in fact be a good thing. Imagine the consent of the governed being withdrawn en masse. Imagine the Republic Texas exercising its option to redeclare its independence. Imagine other states following suit and restoring that voluntary union of independent states. Imagine all the sleeping patriots being shaken from complacency and rising up to water that tree of liberty and remove ALL tyrants in high places.
Stalin used to use the same logic. Leftists are all praying for starvation and oppression so that they can take over, er, come to the rescue. Sheesh.
What might "rock bottom" include? How many of your fellow-citizens dead would be an acceptable price to pay? Would electing a Democrat who would lose or withdraw from the war on terrorism be OK? So the Islamofascists would really despise us, and blow up a few thousand people in American cities once a month just to show their contempt?
I must say I don't see much difference between you and a Muslim resident in the US whose real loyalty is to the Muslim Umma. You don't care what happens to the US so long as it promotes your ideal America. The Muslim terrorist-sympathizer doesn't care what happens to the US so long as it promotes Islamic hegemony in the world. Sounds very much alike to me.
